Bantix world wide an Australian company in Queensland invented a super mosquito killer it is made to mimic humans heat and octenal thats is produced naturally in human perspiration to attract mosquitos and trap them.

THE MOSQUITO SLAYER SYSTEMThe system connects to normal mains power through a 12-volt transformer (included free). A CO2 cylinder, (supplied separately) links to the trap via a 5-metre (16'), industrial-strength, low-pressure gas line. The Australian designed trap reduces mosquitoes and midges/sand flies breeding around your home, workplace or where animals are kept, by breaking the breeding cycle before the adult females lay their eggs.

While some other insect trapping devices have only one or two methods of attracting insects, the Bantix Mosquito Trap uses Ten scientifically proven attractants for mosquitoes and midges/sand flies.

TEN scientifically proven attractantsThe Bantix Worldwide Mosquito Traps use the very same elements that attract mosquitoes and midges/sand flies to humans by luring them into its trap. Carbon dioxide gas is released over a special formulation of attractant solution. A small electric fan sends the aroma wafting through the air. The scent draws the insects towards the trap. As the insects get closer, they are attracted by spectrum and ultraviolet lights that draw them in toward the opening. When they enter, the fan blows them down into the tray of attractant solution where they drown. It's the combination and quantity of each of the attractants that make the Bantix Mosquito Trap an effective device in the control of adult female mosquitoes, midges and sand flies.
